Beached whale spotted in Malibu – NBC Los Angeles

Wildlife experts have been made aware of a beached whale that appears to be stuck on the shore of the Malibu coast.

The California Wildlife Center was made aware of the beached whale around 10 a.m. Saturday at Little Dune Beach, roughly half a mile north of Paradise Cove. Experts determined the species was a gray whale with “no obvious signs for cause of death,” according to the center.

NewsChopper 4 was overhead at the scene, where the whale appeared to be in the shallow end of the water. Its gender and approximate age are unclear.

Wildlife crews plan to leave the whale as is overnight and determine the cause of death on Sunday. The public is asked to stay away from it.
